3. I hope that happens for you, ZombieNixon. I love Dick Durbin.
He's a hell of a fine U.S. Senator. Lucky Illinois folks to have someone like that representing them.

7. I thought this was the Stephen Colbert interviewing school
So did YOU take money from Abramoff? Ok on a serious note ask him what can be done to make the labor movement what it was pre Reagan in the US?

12. I was being serious on that question
Or on a lighter note you can ask him where Jimmy Hoffa is so I don't have to go to Jersey for nothing with a friend of mine.

13. Yeah, I know you were being series.
That's why I bookmarked the threads; I don't want to have to write it all down.

So what are you gonna ask Durbin on a serious note, being a student I think you should ask him something about education or why did he steal my lunch money.

5. Let's lob him a softball.
Ask him if he supports Senator Feingold effort to Censure the President. I'm hoping by doing that you question might get some attention. If you are feeling really brave ask about impeachment. That at least helps advance the idea. Lead the horse to water...

Just a thought.

8. I replied in your Lounge thread.
I'll say here, I love Durbin, and I am proud of him as my Senator. He's a great guy to talk to, and I'll tell you that you CAN talk to him. Have fun and you'll have to read my Lounge post to get my suggestion on what to ask Durbin.


Laura

PS: My suggestion is a NICE one... :)
